Hi Joao

Not bad overall. You should make more efforts regarding the tree. A tree does not end with branches but with finer twigs, I know it's a lot of work, but hey, it's a full part of diorama making.

For the Panzer and figures, it's 1/72, so very difficult in any case. The first snow look good.

Not if it is dead and has been for quite a long time...

The snow is nice, though it seems to fade out a little bit at the front of the scene nearest the camera.

Many congrats for taking on the challenge of figures, trees, and zimmerit in 1/72 - many modellers don't bother with all that even at bigger scales because it is just too difficult to get it looking exactly right.

I especially like the commander, he has a good pose in the turret.

He said he used a dead Bonsai, but not that he modelled a dead tree
